Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritating
Executive summary:

Method:


The eye irritation was determined in an irritation test on rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5.


Observation:


Under the experimental conditions employed the test substance induced reactions of the iris and conjunctiva when instilled into the conjunctival sac of albino rabbit eyes. These effects are fully reversible within 7 days and the mean value of the readings 24 to 72 hours after instillation are below the threshold of significance.


Result:


Not irritating
